Protect the Rights of Teachers and Students to Question Darwinism

Should scientists who believe the universe is the product of intelligent design be fired? Should science teachers who tell students about evidence that challenges Darwin's theory of evolution be reprimanded? Should students who want to explore both the strengths and weaknesses of Darwinian evolution be discouraged from doing so? If you answered no to these questions, sign a petition.

Astronomer Guillermo Gonzalez Denied Fair Hearing by Iowa State Board of Regents

The Board of Regents of the State of Iowa has denied the tenure appeal of Dr. Guillermo Gonzalez, Assistant Professor of Astronomy at Iowa State University (ISU). Dr. Gonzalez's appeal has been ongoing since the summer of 2007, when he was first denied tenure by ISU.

"We are extremely disappointed that the Board of Regents refused to give Dr. Gonzalez a fair hearing in his appeal," said Gonzalez's attorney Chuck Hurley. "They say in Iowa that academic freedom is supposed to be the 'foundation of the university.' That foundation is cracked."

ISU has consistently maintained that Dr. Gonzalez's tenure denial has nothing to do with intelligent design (ID). But secret e-mails exchanged by ISU faculty who voted against his tenure and statements in Dr. Gonzalez's tenure file showed that intelligent design was the overriding factor in his tenure denial. The Board of Regents refused to admit much of this evidence into the record in Dr. Gonzalez's appeal.
